An Honghan's expression would harden at the slightest hint of seriousness, making him look as cold and frozen as ice.
The little ferret, who had just transformed, was startled. Its arrogance vanished instantly, its cheeks flushed slightly, and it said shyly, "I am still in a human body now. You must have heard that men and women should not touch each other, right?"
To think that one reason would make An Honghan back down is to underestimate him.
An Honghan deliberately took a step forward, looking down at the little figure whose head was almost touching the base of her neck in embarrassment. "If I remember correctly, I saw right through you the last time you transformed. Besides, before you transformed, I personally took care of everything for you, from bathing and applying medicine to grooming. I've touched your whole body before, so why are you shy now?"
Feigning ignorance, An Honghan approached step by step.
The person was so embarrassed that they lost all face, and hummed in disbelief, "How can that be compared?"
When she was an animal, at least she had a layer of fur to cover her up, but now she's completely naked.
"Why can't we compare?" An Honghan had already sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the clothes, and used his last trump card, "Do you want to wear clothes or not? If you don't change, I'll throw them away."
Xi Xizhi cursed inwardly, "So corrupt! So incredibly corrupt!"
This is a blatant threat and oppression! How can she go out and face people without clothes on? Seeing that An Honghan was really about to take the clothes and leave, the little girl completely snapped out of her embarrassment and, disregarding that she was completely naked, reached out and grabbed An Honghan's sleeve, "I have to change! Who said I wouldn't change?"
She needs to change her clothes quickly so she can go find the Butterfly Beauty!
An Honghan turned his back to Xi Xizhi and smiled, but when he turned around again, his handsome face was expressionless.
"Then hurry up and change. Why are you dawdling over changing clothes?" An Honghan complained, looking displeased.
Xi Xizhi's two ears twitched violently, her white teeth biting her lip tightly. She snorted, and openly and completely naked, took the clothes and began to put them on one by one without any concealment.
An Honghan stood next to her, watching the little girl pout angrily, pulling at her clothes here and there, without making a sound for a long time.
When the little sable was still an animal, An Honghan could call it "Phoenix Cloud Sable" or "that sable" without hesitation. But after it transformed into human form, An Honghan could no longer call it that, otherwise it would attract strange looks from others.
"How about I give you a name?" An Honghan pondered for a moment, looking at Xi Xizhi's elfin appearance.
Xi Xizhi had silver-white hair that cascaded down to her waist, and her deep blue eyes held an innocent and naive quality.
“No…” Xi Xizhi refused outright. She had her own name, and it was said that a teacher for a day is a father for life. The name 'Xi Xizhi' was given to her by her master. Although her physical body had changed, she was still a disciple taught by her master.
She dared not forget, nor could she forget.
An Honghan's face darkened. "Why?"
Xi Xizhi never lies, but if she were to tell the story of her past and present lives, who would believe her? Moreover, it would be even more difficult to deceive An Honghan, a treacherous and cunning emperor.
It's better to be half true and half false, which makes it more believable.
"It's...it's the old man who taught me how to cultivate immortality last time. He gave me a name." Xi Xizhi stammered for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.
An Honghan raised an eyebrow slightly, a glint of unfathomable light flashing in his eyes. "Is that so?"
These two words startled Xi Xizhi, causing her to tremble, shrink back, and think to herself, "Of course, would I lie to you?"
The clothes she was clutching tightly in her hand were only an undergarment; she hadn't put on any of the other clothes yet.
She thought An Honghan would definitely press for more details, but to her surprise, he remained silent for a while before asking, "Why don't you keep wearing it?"
Xi Xizhi held the clothes awkwardly, "I...I don't know how to wear them."
The clothes here are different from what she wore in her previous life, so it's perfectly normal that Xi Xizhi wouldn't wear them. Besides, even though Xi Xizhi has been in this world for so long, she has never seen a woman change clothes before. She has seen An Honghan change clothes a few times, though. Thinking of An Honghan's sexy figure, Xi Xizhi's cheeks quickly warmed up and turned bright red.
"I'll help you get dressed." An Honghan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he picked up the robes and helped Xi Xizhi put them on. "What name did that old man give you? You were raised by me, so naturally I should choose your name. Let's discard that name."
An Honghan is domineering; in his eyes, what belongs to him is not for others to touch.
He wasn't willing to compromise even on his name.
However, the name 'Xi Xizhi' had long been etched into Xi Xizhi's heart, especially after she was separated from her master. This name could clearly remind her that in another world, her master was still waiting for her to return.
"No... I can't give it up." Afraid of angering An Honghan, Xi Xizhi lowered her head. This name held extraordinary significance and absolutely could not be lost! If she lost it, she would no longer be the original Xi Xizhi.
An Honghan only asked one question: "Why?"
Xi Xizhi remained silent, unable to offer any explanation.
He asked again, "Tell me, why?"
Xi Xizhi pursed her lips tightly, refusing to speak.
Knowing that forcing this little sable was pointless, An Honghan gradually dressed her in her clothes. "I allow you to keep this a secret for now, but you must tell me later. I don't want you to hide anything from me."
An Honghan finished speaking in a cold voice, making his biggest concession. He believed that if he pressed the issue further, the ferret would become frightened. In any case, this matter couldn't be rushed; An Honghan could only play the long game.
Nodding vigorously, Xi Xizhi thought to herself, "Anyway, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Besides, An Honghan hasn't given a timeframe, so she can easily drag it out for years, decades, or even centuries."
"What name did he give you?" An Honghan loosened the little girl's collar, stood a few steps away, and looked her over.
Xi Xizhi's delicately made-up face was as cute as a fairy child, and her bright, lively eyes were even more captivating.
His surname was Xi, and his given name was Xizhi.
Xi is her master's surname. Since Xi Xizhi was taken in, she naturally took her master's surname. As for her given name, it was naturally her master's expectation of her, hoping that she would cherish everything she had.
But now, besides the emperor who took pleasure in bullying her all day long, there was no one else in front of her.
Could it be... that we should cherish him? Xi Xizhi looked at An Honghan with some uncertainty, pondering whether she should also include An Honghan in the list of people she should cherish.
